Yes. Making a local decision is what I always seem to use lazy-catch for, in my case trapping selected system call errors but not interfering with the backtrace of others. > the lazy-catch doc says that its handler must not return, It'd be nice if that could be relaxed, if it was easy to do. In a couple of places I've wanted to return and continue past the lazy-catch form, having taken whatever action in the handler. (An extra wrapping full `catch' makes that possible.) _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
